Somethings need to remain private. haha. Josh and Just 44 Justin stepped off the plane into the terminal of the Orlando International Airport. He adjusted the bag on his shoulder as he looked around at all the passersby. He tightened the hat around his head and brought it over his eyes more. He let out a sigh as he turned around to see if JC had stepped off the plane yet. Someway they had separated in the crowds of people wanting to get off the plane. He watched impatiently as people continued to leave the plane, yet no sight of JC anywhere. Finally the captain stepped off the plane and the gate was closed and locked. "Excuse me. Is there anyone else coming off the plane?" Justin asked quickly before the woman could lock the door. "No sir, the captain is the last one off. Can I help you with anything?" the woman asked. "No thank you." Justin said as he turned around and looked around the terminal, his gaze searching the crowd. He lightly felt a tap on his shoulder. he turned around to see JC standing in front of him with a bag of popcorn that was from one of the nearby shops. He offered the bag to Justin while he placed a handful in his mouth. Justin began to laugh at the simple expression JC had on his face. "What?" JC asked he too began to laugh. "I was so worried about you and you just went to go get some popcorn." Justin said as he turned JC around and started to push him toward the baggage claim. "Really? You were worried about me? Was it because you'd miss my oh so sexy body so much?" JC asked as he arched his eyebrows, continuing to let Justin push him along. "Oh Please, that old thing?" Justin asked leaving JC shocked. JC quickly caught up to Justin and leaned close to him. "You weren't saying that when you were moaning my name?" JC said with a smile that claimed victory. Justin quickly turned toward him and covered his mouth with his hand. "Can we not talk about that here?" Justin asked with a smirk. JC gently started to lick Justin's palm. "Grrrross!!" Justin said as he pulled back his hand and wiped it on JC's jacket which fit loosely around his own shoulders. "Hey that's my jacket!!!" JC said with a laugh. "Yeah well I don't appreciate being licked." Justin said as he gently leaned against JC as they walked toward the baggage claim. "You weren't saying that when I was licking the chocolate mousse off your nipples." JC said as he arched his eyebrows. "Hey! Give me a break! I turn into putty when I'm around you." Justin whispered. "I know!" JC said with slight arrogance. "Hey just because you have me in wedlock doesn't mean that you are guaranteed that spot in bed with me. I don't mind kicking you out so you'd have to sleep on the couch." Justin said as he started to drag JC by the arm to the baggage claim. As they reached the baggage claim, they picked up their suitcases and started to walk to the long term parking garage where JC had parked his car before he went to Tennessee. "Why didn't the guys pick us up? Or at least come to welcome us?" Justin asked. "I don't know. When I called them, Lance said that he was going to take Christina and Britney out. Joey and Chris went to Disney World." JC said tiredly. "Where are the dogs?" Justin asked. "I think that they are staying at Lance's house." JC said with a small smirk. "Hey you know what!? I got you a wedding present and you didn't get me one!" Justin said once they had reached the car. JC opened the back of the jeep and popped his stuff in. He picked up Justin's and tossed it in without answering the statement. "I'm still waiting Mister Chasez!" Justin said as he waked to the passenger door and opened it. "Well you'll be waiting a long time Mister Chasez." JC replied as he got into the driver's seat. "Well fine. I'll take my gift back then." Justin said with a whimsical look. "Okay I wanted to surprise you but I know you're not going to let it go. Your gift is back at the house. There is a reason I haven't given it to you yet." JC said as he looked over at his husband lovingly. He let out a small yawn and took Justin's hand into his own. "You okay? You want me to drive?" Justin asked. "No I'm fine. I'm just a little beat from the flight. I'm glad we're back. Mr. Chasez!" JC emphasized. "I can't believe we're married. I'm Mr. Justin Randall Timberlake Chasez." Justin stared at his wedding ring as JC pulled out of the spot and started to drive down to the round level. "Josh what is your name in French?" Justin asked. "it's pronounced Jo-swee." JC said as drove in circles to the ground level. "Why do you ask?" JC inquired. He quickly pulled out his wallet and the ticket on the dashboard. He paid the attendant and moved out of the garage. "I need a per name for you. I need something that only you'd get. You know? like is someone called me Curly, everybody would know. But I need something that I can call you for myself." Justin said as he thought. "Uhm I dunno. Why don't I think of something for you." "I know what I can call you! You know how you like the Indiana Jones movies. Well I can call you Indy!" Justin said as he placed his feet on the dashboard as he slouched in the seat. "And I guess the only thing I can think of is Blue. Because your fave color is blue." JC shrugged. "Blue and Indy." Justin stated. Justin stepped out of the car when JC pulled into the driveway. He looked at the house he lived in with JC. He stared at the house for a second before JC came up next to him with all the bags in his arms. "Blue, a little help here." JC said before all the bags fell out of his arms to the floor. Justin looked at JC and started laughing. "I'm sorry Sweety. But I miss this house." Justin said as he let out a small sigh. "Well savor it because we're going to head out in a couple of days to I think Bowie." JC said before quickly placing a kiss on Justin's cheek, but looking around first before he did. "Come on babe." JC said as he made his way to the front door, juggling the three bags in his hands. Justin made his way to the front door and unlocked it before swinging it open. He turned around and took two bags from JC and started to walk into the house but was stopped by a loud noise. "SURPRISE!!!!" Justin jumped in shock as he saw everyone in front of him. Lance and Britney stood by the base of the stairs while Joey peek over their heads by standing on the steps. Christina stood by the door with Chris and Sarah. "Oh my god!" Justin said as he turned to look at JC. JC just smiled at him before placing a kiss on his lips. "What is this?" Justin asked. "Well JC called us and he said that he wanted us to be here and we thought we'd scare the crap out of you." Lance said before pulling Justin into a hug. "But all we did was come home." Justin laughed as he smiled at the familiar faces. "Yeah well, consider it a welcome home party. But now that we've finished surprising you JC wants to give you something." Joey said excitedly. "Joey we just stepped through the door, can we get relaxed before I give it to him?" JC asked with a smirk. "No! Now! I wanna play with it?" Christina said. "Okay fine. Hey Just, let's go into the living room." JC said as he guided his husband into the familiar room. Justin took a seat which was more like a plop. "I missed this house!" Justin said once again. "Hey Sweetheart. Here is your wedding present from me." JC said as he placed a box in Justin's lap. Justin looked at the box which was slowly moving in his lap. He lifted the loose top off and saw a pair of eyes staring back at him. Justin's mouth fell open as he stared at a little puppy. The baby Alaskan Malamute stared back at Justin with curiosity. It resembled that of a baby wolf. It's dark gray fur contrasted with the equal amount of white fur it had. Justin pulled the dog out of the box and moved the box aside. The puppy started to roam around on Justin's lap but stayed on his lap. He feared going onto the couch because f the contrast of color. "It's so great Josh. I love him!" Justin said as he pet the dog's little head with his bigger hand. Justin gave JC a hug before looking at the dog's action. "Okay he's getting heavy." Justin said as he placed the puppy on the couch. "Wait that's not it. I got you this too." JC said as he dug around in his pocket. His hands moved from pants pocket to Jacket pocket. JC quickly reached in side the jacket Justin was wearing and couldn't find it. he ran to his bag and unzipped a small pocket. He pulled out a box and ran back to Justin. "Here you go." JC said as he plopped down on the couch next to Justin. The puppy quickly hopped onto Justin's lap again and started barking at JC. The minute yapping sound caused JC to et out a hearty laugh. The sound of two more dogs came into the room. Ozzie and Leo started to bark as the crowded around Justin's legs to see the baby dog. The puppy was scared and started to run to the other side of the Couch, causing him to jump onto JC's lap. "What are you going to name him? Britney asked. "Uhm I'm not sure, How about Josh!" Justin laughed. "Hey!" JC said in mock pain. "I'm sorry Sweety." Justin laughed back as he placed a small kiss on JC's shoulder. "No seriously, what are you going to name him?" Lance asked as he pulled on Ozzie and Leo's collar lightly, to urge them away from the small puppy who was cowering in JC's arms. "How about. . ." Justin thought for a second. "Rex?" Joey suggested. "No Simon!" Christina suggested. "How about Gemini? You already have a Leo why not have another constellation?" Lance thought. "How about Orion?" JC volunteered. "Orion was a hunter right? SO we can name him Hunter!" Justin said as he pulled the small puppy from JC's arms and into his own. The puppy stood on two legs in Justin's lap and started to lean against Justin for support as he stood. "Hunter it is!" Justin said as he pet the dog. Lance, Britney, and Joey walked with Justin to his room to change. Lance laid back on the bed while Joey took a seat on the futon near the window. Britney walked out of the bathroom and took a seat in a chair nearby. Justin took off JC's jacket and placed it on the dresser. "So tell me all about Italy!" Britney asked excitedly. Justin smiled as he slipped off his shirt. He started to rummage through the closet. "Well it was fun. When we first arrived, Josh got the King's suit in this enormous hotel. And it over looked Venice and everything. So that first night we kind of had our dinner inside the room with each other. It was candlelit and everything. And then we had a nice loooong night if you know what I mean." Justin said as he continued to rummage through the closet for something. "Yeah, yeah, what else did you guys do?" Joey asked. "Well the next day I woke up and we had breakfast on the balcony overlooking the a river. And we spent the morning together just talking and stuff." Justin said. "And then?" Lance asked, bored with the story so far. "Well then we went out and saw the sites and stuff. And we took a gondola ride and stuff. And then we drove up to this remote place and we kissed there for hours. It's such a beautiful place. And then we hit some clubs and stuff. And we did the whole shopping thing. It was nice." Justin said as he finally pulled out a large sweatshirt that belonged to JC. he quickly buried his face in it and took the smell of JC. Old Spice after shave. It was a common smell but one that reminded Justin of his husband every time. He dropped his pants and walked to the drawer in his boxers. He pulled out a pair of JC's pajama pants slipped them on. "Sounds boring." Lance said playing with the pillows on Justin's bed. "Oh Hush Lance, You know if it were us two you'd be happy about it." Britney said casting him a glare. "So what's the deal for tonight?" Joey asked as he watched Justin walk to JC's hand bag and pull out the Sleepy Dwarf stuffed animal. "We're going to watch the movie that helped get me and JC together." Justin said happily. "A River Runs Through It???" Lance asked happily. "No Lance, that put us to sleep. It was The Sixth Sense that got us together. And I think I'll go through the whole thing without flinching!" Justin said happily. "Yeah right!" JC said from the doorway. Justin stuck his tongue out at JC childishly before hearing the small yapping of a dog. Hunter nudge the door further open and quickly slipped past JC's feet and ran into the room. "I hate that dog, I wish it were quieter." Joey said covering his head with a pillow. "Hey it's a nice dog!" Justin said scooping him into his arms. "Ready to go guys? We've been waiting for like hours." JC said as he leaned against the doorway. "Fine let's go you guys." Lance said as he stood up. JC sat with his back against the corner of the long couch. One leg was pressed up against the back of the couch while the other slipped off the front and to the floor. Justin laid between JC's legs cuddling up close. Justin placed his head under JC's chin while his arms circled JC's waist. Justin's face was glued to the TV as the suspense grew. He could hear JC's heartbeat through his thin white undershirt that hugged his body nicely. The only light in the room came from the dimmed halogen lights that were casting their shine against the wall. Christina sat on the floor in front of the couple and was holding onto JC's leg as the scary parts came up. Britney laid on the other couch with Lance spooning her from behind, both covered in a blanket. Chris and Sarah squeezed themselves into the recliner, watching the movie closely together. Joey sat on the other end of the couch that JC and Justin were sitting on with a bowl of popcorn in his lap. As the suspenseful music rose to a crescendo, everyone waited for the ghost to make it's appearance. Instantly the lights went out as well as everything else electric in the house. The house was pitch-black. The soft tapping sound of rain began to hit the many windows of the house sending echoes through the house. "What happened?" Christina asked as she dug her nails into JC's legs in fear. "Chrissy! Let go of my leg!!!" JC shouted as the pain got to him. Christina let go of his leg and scurried up onto the couch with Justin and JC. "Hold on let me check out the window." Joey said as he stood from his spot on the couch and walked carefully to the window. Christina quickly pushed herself between JC and Justin and hugged onto JC tightly. "Thanks Justin for sharing your husband with me." Christina said as she buried her face into JC's shoulder. "Not like I had much choice." Justin said in mock anger. JC laughed as he wrapped an arm around Christina. "I didn't know Christina was afraid of the dark." JC said. "She's afraid of blackouts. Don't you remember on the set for MMC we had that blackout and she wouldn't let go of Matt's arm." Britney said as she continued to lay with Lance. "Poor Chrissy." Justin said as he stood up in his seat. "All the lights are out. I think it's because of the winds." Joey said as he made his way to the couch again. he sat down and accidentally sat himself down in Justin's lap. "Justin is that you?" Joey asked as he lifted his hand and felt the face of the person he was sitting on. "Will you get off me you dork!" Justin said as he mocked being squished. Joey got up and took a seat next to him. "Here I'll go get the flashlights and candles and stuff. You guys wait here." JC said as he eased Christina off of him and onto Joey's shoulder. JC got up and carefully walked out of the room. Everyone sat in the darkness listening to the soft pounding of the rain against the window. Suddenly they heard a crash coming from the other room. "Owww!" JC yelled. Justin stood up and quickly made his way toward JC. "Josh where are you?" Justin asked as he came to the doorway. "In the kitchen on the floor." JC called back. Justin carefully head in and saw a dark silhouette on the floor. Justin quickly reached onto the counter and felt around until he found the candle lighter. He searched around for a drawer and once he found it he pulled it open. He felt inside before taking out two small tea candles. He placed them on the counter and pressed the button to the lighter. He lit both candles and carefully took them into his hands. He edged closer to the figure , gaining more of an image the closer he got. He found JC sitting on the floor clutching his leg as if he was in pain. He was sitting amidst a bunch of dishes, some broken and some intact. "What happened Sweety?" Justin asked as he rushed to JC's side. He gently placed the candle on the floor and cleared the dishes away with his sleeve. He too a seat in front of JC and placed the other candle on the other side of him. "I thought I was reaching for a flashlight but it ended up being glasses and well when I pulled back a bunch of these dishes came with me. And then I slipped and here I am." JC said. Justin started to laugh. "It's not funny." JC said back. "Yeah it is. Only you can slip after dropping dishes." Justin said as he pulled JC's hand away from his leg. He gasped when he saw JC's red hand in the glow of the candle. "Oh my god Josh, you're bleeding!" Justin said as he looked at JC's pajama pants which had a dark red soaked spot growing on it. Justin quickly lifted the leg of the pant up to JC's knee and saw a gash that was dripping with blood. " Oh it's okay, It looks worst than it really is." JC said before attempting to get up. He quickly winced from the pain and fell back onto the ground. "Ok Josh hon, you're going to have to stand the pain for a quick second. We have to get you to a chair." Justin said. "Here let me get the chair." Chris said as Britney and him entered the room. They got a chair from the table and placed it near by. Justin took both of JC's arms and pulled him onto his feet. JC started to hold his breath as he stood the pain. "Go ahead Josh, I know you want to swear." Justin said as he took JC's arm and placed it around his shoulder. "Shit!!" JC yelled as he fell back into the seat. "It's okay let's get your leg fixed up and get you back to the couch." Justin said before taking out the first aid kit. Justin sat in the position JC was sitting in during the movie, JC laid on the couch with the end of his leg resting on the armrest while his head laid in Justin's lap on a pillow. Joey and Christina sat on the loveseat while Britney and Lance sat on the floor in front of them. Chris and Sarah were still in the recliner. Candles were strewn all over the room, sending a glow that allowed everyone to see each other. "I'm bored!" Joey complained. "What do you want to do than?" JC asked. "I dunno. Strip Poker?" Chris suggested. "Truth or Dare?" Christina added. "Quarters?" Lance suggested. "How about we sleep." JC said as he closed his eyes. Before he knew it, he was being hit by pillows. "Do you guys want to open our wedding presents? We still haven't done that." Justin said. "Yeah, let's do it!" Britney said hopping up. She grabbed a couple of candles and urged everyone else to. Everyone stood up and moved into the den where all the gifts were held. Justin helped JC hobble to the desk chair and let him plop down. Justin than pulled up a chair next to him and looked at the gifts on the desk. "Open ours first!" Chris said. "Okay which one is yours?" Justin asked. "This one." Chris said picking it up from in front of the fireplace. Joey moved aside all the gifts from the fireplace and began on making a fire. "Hope you two have happy life together with many children named Chris. Love always Chris and Sarah." JC read the card. "Why would we want to name our children Chris? They might turn out like you." Justin said as he began to open the gift. "Nothing wrong with that!" Sarah said as she gave Chris a kiss on the cheek. "Okay open it already!" Christina yelled, sitting surrounded by candles. Justin pulled off the paper and looked at the box. He opened it and pulled it out of the box. He saw a crystal glass frame the had the Josh and Just etched into it in calligraphy. In the frame was a picture of Justin and JC at their engagement party. Justin and JC stood facing each other while they had their arms wrapped around each other's waist. They stared into each other's eyes and had a comical smile on. "Wow! Thanks you guys. I know just where to put this." JC said. He moved aside the wrapping paper and placed it right on the desk. "Next! It's ours!" Britney and Lance said as she hopped up and looked for the present that she had bought the guys as well as the one Lance bought. Britney hopped past Joey who had just gotten the fire going and placed both presents in front of the guys. Justin smiled and picked up Britney's gift. He quickly unwrapped it and looked at the velvet box in front of him. He popped the large square box open and looked inside. He saw two glowing bracelets. JC lifted them out of the box and held it closer to himself and Justin more. "One says Justin and the other says Joshua." Britney said. Justin looked at the bracelet that said his name. In the center was a shining transparent stone that made the bracelet glow. JC's bracelet looked the same with the same stone in the center. "Thanks Britney. I love it." Justin said as he took out the bracelet with his name on it. "No! That's JC's. You get the one that says Joshua." Britney said as she pointed it out. "Why?" JC asked. "Cause then you'll always be reminded of each other." Britney smiled. "Oh Thanks Brit. I love it." JC said as Justin placed the bracelet he already took out around his arm. "Now mine!" Lance said. JC took a hold of the present and opened it. JC rested his head on JC's shoulder as he looked at what he was unwrapping. JC lifted his arm and placed it around Justin before continuing to open it. "Actually Blue, why don't you take a seat on this knee. This one does hurt." JC said taking his arm away from around Justin. Justin shrugged before standing up and moving to JC's knee. He gently sat down and watched JC's face to see if he was in pain. JC just smiled back and planted a small kiss on Justin's nose. They both looked toward the gift which was unwrapped in front of them. Justin lifted the cover of the box and pulled back the tissue paper. Justin let out a small laugh as he saw the gift. JC looked in and smiled. In the box was a framed portrait. The portrait was of Justin as a baby which then blended to the other side of the portrait with JC as a baby. JC lifted the small painting out of the box and looked at it more closely. He saw the extreme detail for the painting. In center of the bottom edge was the words "who knew?" scrolled. He looked at the bottom right hand corner and saw his brother's name signed. "Tyler made this?" JC asked looking at Lance through the gloom. The house quickly shook reminding everyone of the storm outside. The thunder caused Britney to gasp before relaxing and taking a few quick breaths. "Yeah, I had him make it for me. He priced it as much as he does his other paintings, and well let me tell you that that is one expensive painting." Lance assured. "He must have had to ask our parents for our baby pictures because that was the one I took when I was an infant." Justin pointed out. "I know that was a couple of months after I was born." JC said pointing to himself. "Okay enough of that. My turn!" Christina said as she lifted a box from the floor and handed it to the couple. JC put the portrait aside and looked at the box in front of him. He glanced at Justin and then the box. "You can get this one, Just." JC said. Justin took the gift and started to unwrap it. JC took the card and read it to himself. "What does it say?" Justin asked. "It says that we have to name our first girl Christina." JC said starting to laugh. "Why do you guys have a fascination with being the namesake for our children. I don't even know when we will have children!" Justin said as he continued unwrapping. He threw the wrapping paper aside and looked at the plain box in front of him. He lifted the lid and there nested within strips of white tissue paper was an album. On the album there was a place for a picture and underneath the picture area was the words "The Happiest Day of our Lives" etched into the silver cover. "Wow Chrissy! Thanks a bunch!" Justin said as he lifted it up. JC flipped open the album and checked out the empty pages that were going to be filled soon. "I like it!" JC said as he closed it again and let his hand run over the cover. "Okay now mine!" Joey said taking the gift. He placed the box in front of the two and waited impatiently. JC started to carefully unwrap the present. "It's a toaster!!!" Joey quickly said excitedly. Josh and Just 45 "Hey Brit." Justin said into his cell phone. "Hey Just, you guys arrived safely?" Britney asked. Justin turned around and saw JC struggling to get a bag out of the trunk of the cab. "Yeah, the plane was a little bumpy but we're here and it just started to snow here." Justin said to Britney. "That's cool! Hey could you do me a favor?" Britney asked. "Yeah sure." Justin replied as he took a suitcase from JC and tugged it toward the door. "When I was there for your guys' wedding I saw this cute doll set in the toy store near your house. Could you possibly pick that up, I wanna give it to my lil sister when I go back in January?" Britney asked. "Sure, No prob. Well Brit I hafta go. I'll talk with you later." Justin said. They said there good- byes and he placed the phone into his pocket. He heard the sound of someone running behind him. He looked over his shoulder right before JC grabbed him from behind quickly. JC hugged him tightly. "My Husband!!!" JC said as if he was a kid clutching his favorite toy. Justin laughed a bit before knocking on the door. JC still hugged him from behind as they waited for the door to open. JC quickly took off his gloves and placed his cool hands against Justin's cheek. "Are they cold?" JC asked, looking at Justin's face. Justin quickly elbowed him into the abs with a smirk. JC stumbled back a bit as he rubbed his abs while keeping a hearty laugh. "I don't know, did that hurt?" Justin asked right before the door swung open. He saw Jonathan's face beam with excitement as he saw his brother. Jonathan jumped off the floor and into Justin's arms. "Justin!!!" Jonathan yelled as he tightly hugged his brother. "Hey Jonny." Justin said as he lifted the kid up. Justin moved into the house with JC following. Steven entered the room silently sobbing to himself. "Aw What's wrong Stevey?" JC asked as he scooped the kid into his arms. Steven wrapped his tiny hands around JC's neck before burying his face into JC's shoulder. JC started to bounce up and down, trying to sooth Steven. "I didn't do it." Tyler said as he entered the room. JC cast him a glare and continued to sooth the child. "Than who did?" Justin asked with a laugh. "Me." Heather said shyly, coming into the room. "Heather!" JC scolded. "Sorry, it was just that he was sitting on the couch and I surprised him from behind, and he go scared, and then he started crying , and so I couldn't do anything." Heather started to babble. JC gave her a doubtful glare before taking the boy in one hand and his suitcase in the other. "Could you guys help with the bags because well we have our hands full." Justin said. Jonathan hopped out of his arms and ran into the living room. Tyler and Heather took the two suitcases form the couple and helped take them upstairs. The couple made their way into the living room when they stopped. Their in Justin's living room was a man that wasn't a relative. "Who are you?" Justin asked before receiving a smack on his arm from JC. the man looked up and smiled. "We've met before." The man said standing up. Heather quickly came into the room. And smiled. "Sweety, this is my brother JC and my brother-in-law Justin. You remember them from last year right?" Heather introduced. "Last year? You mean this is Todd?" JC asked. "Tim." Justin corrected as he smiled at the man. "Hello, nice seeing you guys again." Tim smiled. JC and Justin gave him a smile back before walking to the kitchen. JC grabbed Heather's arm and pulled her into the kitchen behind him. "What?" Heather asked JC. "That's Tim? What happened to him? There's something different about him." JC said, referring to Heather's long time boyfriend, a year to be exact. "Nothing." Heather said meekly. "No something happened, because I remember thinking he was cute. All except the. . ." Justin stopped. He started to burst into laughter. "What?" JC asked. "Okay!" Heather said trying to stop Justin from laughing. "What?!" JC asked, completely lost. "Okay I'll tell you but you can't say anything!" Heather said pointing at JC. "Fine." JC agreed. "He got his ears pulled back." Heather said softly. "He got an ear job!?!?!" JC burst into laughter. Heather covered his mouth and looked over her shoulder to see if Tim heard. "Shut up!! He did it for a movie part. And then they ended up not giving it to him, so he was basically stuck. Now shut up!" Heather said smacking JC's arm. Steven looked up from his shoulder to see why everyone was laughing. "Okay, okay!" JC said stopping his laughter. He started to walk away with Justin toward the stairs. As soon as they reached the base, they burst into laughter. Justin and JC moped around the house as the snow came down. Neither of them looked forward the two days that were sure to go by fast, which meant that their extended vacation was about to end. After their Christmas they were to get started on their third album as well as tour the US, and make interviews, guest appearances, visits, and music videos. It was harder on them , being that they were now married and couldn't be seen in public doing anything that was considered overly friendly. Justin stared at the contract in front of him as he sat on his bed. He looked at the contracts many pages as he chewed on the end of his pen. JC laid next to him, lying on his back as he stared at his contract which he held up. He turned a bit and saw Steven sleeping soundly next to him before lowering his contract onto his stomach. He gently lifted the small blanket around Steven before taking the pen from behind his ear. "I hate contracts." He whispered to Justin. "yeah I know. And they had to give it to us on Christmas!" Justin complained as he placed the stack down. "So Mr. Chasez How you handling this whole going back to work thing?" JC asked. "I dunno, Mr. Chasez. It's been a wonderful four months off. Now we're about to sign a piece of paper saying that we cannot stop working until June! That's a whole six months. Unless there is a family emergency or illness." Justin said with a sigh. "I know it's hard Just, but just think about all the people you'll be helping, especially seeing how you'll get back to work on the Justin Timberlake Foundation. And Lance can get back to FreeLance. And Chris can get back to FuManSkeeto. And I'll get back to Chasez Music. And Joey can get back to doing whatever he does." JC smirked. "And we'll be doing it all together as N Sync." Justin whispered. "And We'll be doing it together as Josh and Just." JC whispered back. "And Stevey?" A small voice asked. Both JC and Justin looked down at the child that was supposed to be asleep and saw that he was awake. JC and Justin laughed as JC began to tickle the boy. "And Steven too." Justin agreed getting off the bed. He walked to the window and saw the snow drifting down. The sparse snow barely covered the ground with a full layer, leaving big empty dark green patched. The tree outside had been lit and covered in a layer of snow. Justin sighed a the Christmas look of everything and leaned against the windowsill. He turned and looked at JC who was lifting Steven into the air above him. He smiled a bit before looking back out the window. "Thanks Santa for the best husband anyone could of asked for." Justin whispered. To Be Continued. . . **** Okay I know that was lame but I was also packing and stuff for my trip. You see when a person in my family goes on a trip to visit other family members, they have to act as messenger and end up taking like twelve thousand pounds with them. UgH! Anyway I wanna tell everyone that I'll be out with a brand new chapter in the new year maybe the second week or so. And all that. Consider this an early Christmas present. Not a good one, but a present nonetheless. I wish everyone HAPPY HOLIDAYS, as well as a HAPPY NEW YEAR. Hope everyone is safe and sound and I want all of you guys to take care so you can read more of Josh and Just in the new year. YOU TOO MEL! Even if you are engaged to my boyfriend. Hehe. Well bye everyone!.
